oh how i love it when customers share their photos with me. here are some beautiful photos of five week old twins taken by a customer of mine from budapest, hungary, who purchased two silk hats from my etsy shop (and waited patiently while it took me a long time to get them to her!)...

**note to all of my etsy hat shop customers: i'm close to being caught up on all of my previous custom orders, so if you are still waiting on a hat from me...you should be receiving it sometime during these first weeks of june! thanks to everyone for your continued patience and understanding as i continue to fulfill custom orders. i plan to reopen the shop and relist all of my available hats sometime in the next couple of weeks!

there seems to always be an abundance of doll clothing and accessory designing and making going on around here (some handmade by me, some handmade by etsy friends). i suppose it's the instant - or near instant - satisfaction and joy that comes from creating something so quickly and easily. in fact, i would venture to say that the dolls around our house have a much more extensive wardrobe than most of the other dwellers in our household. and, of course, it's always fun to share the handmade goodness with others.

here is a little knitted doll bonnet i recently made for my friend, nicole, while i was knitting up a silk pilot cap for her daughter (see her blog post about it here)...
